NBA PRESEASON / SEASON OPENER

The NBA season begins Tuesday and there are a lot of  much anticipated match-ups. The first game of the season will take place on Tuesday October 29th between the MIAMI HEAT  and CHICAGO BULLS. The heat are coming into this season,  off of their second straight NBA title. (3 rd title over all for the heat organization) The Heat have had a very productive 2013 NBA pre season as well, thus far going 4-2. This match-up between the Bulls is going to bring back great memories of the 2012 NBA Eastern Conference Finals  and the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals, where Bulls guard Derrick Rose put the heat up to the test. When the Bulls first faced the heat in 2011 the Chicago Bulls guard caught a lot of attention as he and his team gave the heat stiff competition making the series very competitive.  The bulls guard tore his ACL in the 2012 Eastern Conference finals as the Bulls would go down to the heat and wouldn't advance to the NBA finals. The bulls are coming into this game having a very surprising season last year. Much anticipated, Derrick Rose was expected to be back with his team by the NBA play offs last season, but everyone was shocked when they didn't see the Bulls guard out on the court to start the playoffs. The bulls would put up a fight and would advance past the Brooklyn Nets to the second round of the play offs with out there number one player and various starters going out to injuries as well during this time. The bulls would put up a fight in the second round of the Playoffs but because of the lack of depth on their team, they would lose out to the Miami heat. These two teams have had a lot of history in the past few years, but who will rise to the occasion to start the 2013 NBA season?
